Bonny 'Prince' Billy

In the organizer's words:

What do Rosalía, Johnny Cash and Zucchero have in common? They have all covered songs by Will Oldham, who not only gave one of the most beautiful concerts in Kampnagel history in 2024 under his stage name Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, but has also just released "his best album of (at least) the last twenty years" (Rolling Stone): "We Are Together Again" finds hope in dark times in a sense of community, friendship and fellowship. The lion, who appears in two songs, does not roar here, but sings softly and with an ageless voice, accompanied by Oldham's subtle folk guitar and feather-light floating clarinet, strings or accordion; an album like an antithesis to the noise of the present, "beautiful to cry about" (Musikexpress). And as if made for the higher spheres of St. Gertrud Church, where Bonnie 'Prince' Billy will play pieces from his new work and his song treasure trove, which now comprises 31 albums, with a chamber ensemble.
